The Power Of Your Mouth

Proverbs 21:23, Amplified Bible

He who guards his mouth and his tongue keeps himself from troubles.

Proverbs 13:3

He who guards his mouth keeps his life, but he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.

Proverbs 18:21

Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

Proverbs 15:4, Amplified Bible, KJV

A gentle tongue [with its healing power] is a tree of life….

A wholesome tongue (the healing of the tongue) is a tree of life….

Proverbs 16:24, KJV, Amplified Bible

Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, sweet to the mind and healing to the body.

Personalized Confession:

I guard my mouth and tongue and keep myself from trouble.  I keep my life by guarding my mouth because death and life are in the power of my tongue.  I speak words of life and not death over myself, my family, my friends and others.  My tongue is gentle and wholesome, with healing power flowing from it as a source of life for myself and others.  Pleasant words roll off my tongue and out of my mouth as sweet substance to my mind and healing balm to my body, to my bones particularly.  My mouth is filled with the goodness of God.  The Word of God is in my heart in abundance, and out of the abundance of my heart flow words of life.

Favor, Preferential Treatment

One of the ministers I listen to has said that this is your year of unprecedented favor.  Favor is God’s nature and ability released on your behalf to produce good in your life.  God’s favor causes you to rise to the top, to get preferential treatment, while others are waiting.  His favor is available for anyone who will believe for His goodness to be expressed in one’s life.  Unprecedented is a word that means above and beyond, never happened before.  There is no benchmark made for it because it has not happened yet.  So, this year, 2013, believe for God’s unprecedented favor to be upon your life.  I know it will be a better year for you.  You believe the same.

Psalm 30:5,7, Amplified Bible

…His favor is for a lifetime; in His favor is life….

By Your favor, O Lord, You have established me as a strong mountain;….

Psalm 145:16, Amplified Bible

You open Your hand and satisfy every living thing with favor.

Psalm 5:12

For You, Lord, will bless the righteous; with favor will You compass (surround) him as with a shield.

Personalized Confession:

God, You are so good to me.  You surround me with favor, with preferential treatment.  Everywhere I go, favor goes before me, paving the way for me.  It makes the way for parking spaces, lines at registers, promotions on my job, good weather for my crops, best prices for things I must buy, (add your own list).  Your favor is my portion.  Thank You, Lord.  I am so grateful.  I have Your favor all my lifetime.  It brings me life forever.  By Your favor, O Lord, You establish me as a strong person.  I am blessed all the days of my life.

The Protection of His Presence

In Isaiah 4:5 in the Amplified Bible we read this in the last part of the verse:  …”for over all the glory shall be a canopy (a defense of divine love and protection).”

You hook that verse with Psalm 91:1 regarding the shadow of the Almighty God, and you see the protection of His glory, of His Presence, which comes as we worship Him.  We dwell in the secret place of the Most High God, WHOSE SHADOW no foe can withstand.  That shadow is God’s glory or His power.  His power is like a canopy over us, defending us.  His Glory is His defense for us of His divine love and protection.

When we are in the Presence of the Lord, there is no enemy who can touch us.  In fact, Jesus told us in Luke 10:19 that He has given us authority to tread on serpents and scorpions (demonic forces) and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means harm us or hurt us.  Satan may try to deceive us and lie to us and tell us that we can be touched, but that would be contrary to the Word of God.  We are protected as we walk out our victory over whatever comes against us.

Know that God is your protection.  He is always there with you to defend you and keep you from evil or evil ones harming you.  Believe Him!  Trust Him!  He is your Defense and Strong Tower of Refuge.  His glory is His presence manifested or made visible for you.  His glory is the FULLNESS of HIS LOVE expressed on your behalf.  His divine love never fails.  Know that He is guarding you and protecting you, regardless of what may come against you.  Place your life in His hands.  You are His responsibility.  He is your Defender.

Personalized Confession:

God has spread His glory over me like a canopy.  It is my defender against all the wiles of the enemy.  His love is sheltering me and protecting me from all the plans that satan has set against me.  I dwell in the secret place of the Most High God, in His glory, in His presence.  God has given me authority over all the power of the enemy.  He cannot touch me.  I am hidden beneath the wings of my Savior.  I am free.
